Ghosts in the Bathhouse by Kevin Barrett
…The work on transgenerational transmission and healing of trauma has been focused on familial ties and attachment experiences.

In these cases, we aren’t able to speculate about transmission through attachment experience, so how do we think about the way this trauma has been transmitted to and worked through by subsequent generations?
